If you were arrested in Harris County, Texas and cannot afford to pay the bail amount, then you will need a bail bond. A bail bond agent can help by providing a cash collateral as a guarantee that you will return to court as required. In some cases, getting a bond can be difficult due to the decisions of the court. However, the state can not hold a person who has not been convicted of a crime. If you’re facing trouble getting a fair & reasonable bond, my office may be able to help you.
